Tonsils are countless lymphoid follicles in some parts of the pharynx converge to form a mass of lymphoid tissue, according to the location can be divided into palatine tonsils, pharyngeal tonsils and lingual tonsils, of which the palatine tonsils are the largest. Palatine tonsils, that is, we usually call the tonsils, is a pair of oval slightly flat lymphoid organs, located in the palatine arch on both sides of the oropharynx and palatopharyngeal arch surrounded by the tonsil fossa.
The tonsils can be seen in the mouth but cannot be felt in the neck. If similar tissue is palpated, it may be an enlarged cervical lymph node and should be given high priority.
